Comments:
In the example, the plates are cut in the shape of a fish, the theoretical length of the weld along the diagonal is 290 mm, one of the legs has the size of 260 mm, and the other – 290 – 260 = 30 mm. Therefore, the width of the plate is specified in KRISTALL as 2*30 mm = 60 mm to maintain the same length of the welds.
